About this adventure
Historic downtown Boerne in the Texas Hill Country steps back into the Victorian era for Dickens on Main, held annually over Thanksgiving weekend. The town's historic Hill Country Mile is transformed into a nostalgic Christmas village with period-costumed street actors, vintage carolers, and horse-drawn carriage rides. Children can frolic in a real snow play area, marvel at ice-sculpting demonstrations by master carvers, and visit Santa Claus inside his festive workshop. The festival features live stage entertainment, festive street food, and unique gift shopping along historic Main Street, with historic limestone storefronts gleaming with holiday garland and twinkling lights.
